Located just steps from the Luxembourg Gardens, our hotel is the perfect starting point to explore the capital from a fresh perspective. Far from the traditional tourist routes, Paris is full of unusual, secret, and lesser-known places that reveal the richness of its heritage.

Beneath Paris: A Hidden and Fascinating World

Just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, the Paris Catacombs take you on a unique underground journey, full of history and mystery. Another surprising spot: the Paris Sewer Museum, which plunges you into the city's depths to discover its impressive subterranean network.
